Well I saw a picture of George wearing a "Han shot first tee shirt." Dose that make it G-canon. Yes. Yes, it does. _________________ All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

George told him tough, cause that's just what you're going to do. Wish George would have listened to Hayden. _________________

Cerrinea Master Joined: 09 Jun 2009 Posts: 1412 Am I the only fan who actually likes the whiny Vader? Seems totally realistic teenager to me. Besides it links to whiny Luke which I've always liked a lot. So typical. I love that Luke inherited Anakin's whiny gene. lol _________________ Roqoo Depot co-founder.

He hit 20 right before AotC and that was more around the age most kids start to come into there own and by the time of RotS he was like 23 or 24 ish, an adult by that time with a baby on the way. It wasn't very realistic to me. _________________ Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

Mara Jade Skywalker Master Joined: 15 Feb 2008 Posts: 5359 Location: Beyond Shadows I thought so, too. But some guys are just whiny like that. Especially ones like Anakin who are told they're special from a young age. However...! I do wish he had been a little less whiny. It really hurts the Darth Vader persona. Although...I don't know that that's a terrible thing. I can sometimes see the OT in a new and more interesting light when I consider the pitiful creature behind the mask. *ponders* _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker

Cerrinea Master Joined: 09 Jun 2009 Posts: 1412 Anakin was born in 41 BBY. The Clone Wars started in 22 BBY. Anakin was 19, same age as Luke in ANH. They were both whiny at 19. LOL I didn't find him whiny in ROTS. Just angsty. _________________ Roqoo Depot co-founder.
